has faith no more brixton academy sold out?

120_Minutes

A. i thought this might be better here than in gigs, if not mods please move.

B. don t know who's promoting this in london, if it turns out promoter is MCD associated, mods please delete.


I've checked ticketmaster.co.uk and it just says "tickets not available" does that mean sold out or not available yet?

I got a ticket for £125stg from Getmein.com!!!!!!! Saving grace was i got my flights over and back for €2!:D

Initialy i balked at paying so much but i don't think i'll manage a festival this summer as i'm off to the states to see metallica at MSG in november for 2 nights so i'm putting this one down to a "once in a lifetime" event. Seen them 3 times in 92/93,couldn't resist one more show!

Faith No More formed in the early 80's and achieved some amount of worldwide success in the latter part of same decade.

During that period they played numerous sell out shows at the old Brixton Academy, one of which was released as a live record.

So, no, Faith No More are not selling out by playing the Brixton Academy, even though they have reformed for the money.

I hope this answers your question wee fella.

Any chance they are gonna play here?

It sold out in a matter of seconds. There were too many presale tickets left out and too many links going around to get them so by the time they went onsale to the general public there wasn't that many left. Fooking ticketmaster fools.
I got as far as entering my credit card details the morning they went on sale and then the site kept messing up :mad: and thus lost two tickets. So bitter.

Anywho, there are tickets left which ticketmaster are selling on a sister site for extraordinary prices (which is verrrry annoying).


I'm still hoping FNM will announce an Irish date, another UK date was rumoured so i'd settle for that either. It's quite a comprehensive tour and they're constantly announcing more dates so here's hoping. (Plus Patton kind of owes us one for cancelling Peeping Tom last year :P)

Decent alternative option: Rock en Seine, Paris (with Offspring + others) 29 August 45€ + ticketing/postage charges, but can home print ticket(s):

Sounds like a plan. I'll try find out the name of a couple of boozers near the brixton academy and i'll PM you and sort something out.:cool:

An Irish show is definitely owed for the cancelled Peeping Tom and Tomahawk shows.

Got tickets for the gig in Berlin. Can't wait!

The Priory Arms (a bit further away) is a great boozer(my local):

Also The Ivan's Retreat has replaced the Goose which used to be just across the road(for people who have attended live events in the academy before). The Goose was **** but surprisingly Ivan's Retreat is good, the BeeHive is crap.

Hi All,

i've just returned from Brixton this morning. if any of you bought a T-Shirt did you notice the 27th AUGUST DUBLIN on it???? can't find any info on the web and a little pissed as i bought tickets / flights for Brixton and Berlin.

It rocked though....

120_Minutes

this is good news, aug 27th is a gap in the tour, with paris next on the 29th, so its very possible.....

jordananderson

They were also to do (according to T-Shirts) Glasgow on 25th Aug, Dublin 27th, reading 28th, Paris 29th and Leeds 30th. as we know Reading and leeds were confirmed then removed from thier website so i wonder if all these will be confirmed after Download? or if download could have forced the issue due to the "exclusive" UK apperance deal. does this mean they wont bother with Dublin.

jenizzle

It's either a good announcement or a really crap misprint on the t-shirt :eek:

smelltheglove

Tickets on sale on wednesday!!!! its on the ticketmaster site now! €54.80 gonna be ****ing class hope to **** i get a ticket!

DeadSkin

Any one know who the support is?


Edit:

Just checkin' out a few youtubes there, Roddy looks well happy

............and a classic

Vic Vinegar

They've just added a gig at the Edinburgh Corn Exchange on the 25th of August. Tickets for this go on sale on Friday at 10am.

Kevin11

2 tickets in the bag.. Great stuff cant wait

kkontour

None available 9:10am

120_Minutes

none available at one second past 9 for me, how is that possible?

NIBBS

yeah I've tried all combinations since 9:00 and just kept getting told there were none available - had I been sitting in a queue or something I'd understand, but to be shown none available when people are still getting them is a complete headwrecker.....:-(

praying for a second date - but that'll be even harder to get tickets for as the profiteers will be after them all....

Ronan|Raven

Already tickets on ebay. I hope they get hit by a truck.

Kevin11

Very odd. Reckon it was about 5 past by the time I got mine.

Carrickman

oneillMan999
